In quality inspection and grade classification, the online sales business platform 110 checks the appearance state of the electronic device, the functional state of the part, with a video image, or an X-ray projection image, and according to the confirmed state, the electronic device For example, it can be classified into grades A-E.

Here, the external state inspection may be an inspection of the LCD state of the electronic device, the state of scratches on the external edge, etc., and the functional state inspection of the parts includes various sensors, buttons, cameras, batteries, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, speaker/microphone It may be a check to see if the back is functioning normally.

For example, the online sales business platform 110 analyzes the video image, and there is a small scratch on the front LCD, and also analyzes the X-ray projection image to analyze the recent battery or LCD (including TOUTCH) exchange marks. , can be classified as 'B grade'.

The bidding may be a procedure in which a purchaser proposes a purchase price for electronic devices that are classified and registered in a bid list for sale.

The online sales business platform 110 may bundle and arrange a plurality of electronic devices classified into the same class into one block, and may bid on a plurality of electronic devices by receiving a bid price from a buyer in block units.

In addition, the online sales business platform 110 conducts an auction service for the electronic device with a value at any future point in time, taking into account the price drop of the electronic device over time, according to the bidding of the electronic device. . That is, the online sales business platform 110 may select a successful bidder by receiving a bid for the price at the point in time at which the buyer wants to receive the electronic device, based on the time-to-depreciation of the electronic device, and comparing the bid bids. have.

For example, the online sales business platform 110 may receive a bid from the buyer on the condition of delivery after 6 months for 10 electronic devices 'OO phones' classified as B grades by inspecting the quality. At this time, the online sales business platform 110 sets the bidding range (95% to 97% of the current market price) in consideration of the price drop at the time when the electronic device 'OO phone' has elapsed 6 months from the present, A buyer may be encouraged to bid within a set bid range.
